Had one several years ago and a week later spent 3 days feeling like something the proverbial cat had proverbially dragged in.
Thought to get one this year. Felt like h-ll earlier this evening (a week after the shot) and now I am awake (not quite 2 am) after terrible dreams and feeling not much better.
Ah well, better this than the Real Thing...I s'pose

Just got home from allergy tests...I'm allergic to eggs among other things. No wonder flu shots made me sick.

Just had my first flu shot ever, but I'm going to work in a children's hospital so I think it was probably a good idea, for me and for them. I don't generally have any bad reactions to vaccines, but if I do I'll let you know.
It was a dead virus vaccine - there was even a notice on the web site that if you'd had a live virus vaccination they could ask you to not come to work for a period of time!"Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide

Oh, mine was killed virus too -- I didn't even know there were any other kind! Hope you don't have any side effects. Most people don't (other than a sore arm). Guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Turns out my mom has bad reactions to them too (and is also not allergic to any of the ingredients that she is aware of). She stopped getting them years ago when she retired from teaching.

Yeah mine had "INACTIVATED" written in big letters like that on it. Sheesh, I would hate to see the activated one
(sorry about the "Sheesh"" It must be from the Andy Griffiths YouTube that Zen linked on TD/Australia)

If I'm not mistaken, all the shots are killed virus. The nasal spray is modified live virus.
